Pantothenic acid in royal jelly helps those with arthritis Some studies involving those suffering with arthritis show that they lack pantothenic acid. In one research project, when arthritis sufferers were injected with pantothenic acid, their blood levels of this B vitamin rose to normal and many of their symptoms disappeared. Once these injections stopped, the symptoms rapidly returned. Reduction or disappearance of the symptoms that commonly accompany arthritis were most pronounced in vegetarians when they received an injection of a combination of pantothenic acid and royal jelly. Some researchers theorize that royal jelly helps arthritis because it contains an ingredient called 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid, a substance found to have powerful antimicrobial properties that may contribute to royal jelly's anti-inflammatory effect. Stories about the improvement of various physical disorders after supplementation with royal jelly are so numerous and remarkable that, at first, one may be inclined to dismiss them: recovery from anorexia nervosa (loss of appetite); lowering of cholesterol and triglyceride levels; improved blood circulation; reduction of symptoms of arthritis and asthma; correction of urinary incontinence; and improvement of some types of impotency.
